Our take on Hachishaku
Its defining structure is a village investigation built around returning five sacred jizo to their shrines while a supernatural stalker hunts the protagonist.
What is Hachishaku?
Hachishaku is a stalker-horror adventure set in the deserted village of NaniNani Mura.
Players investigate why its residents fled, why Chado-san was sent to Tokyo as a child, and what happened to his childhood friend. Exploration involves reading villagers’ journals and notes, finding photographic evidence, and locating five sacred jizo to return to their shrines. A legendary spirit hunts Chado-san throughout the village. Collected money can be spent on costumes, hairstyles, accessories, and hats for the stalker. The launch version includes 10 costumes and six hairstyles. The story presents choices involving escape, being taken by the spirit, or confronting Chado-san’s duty.
